I Need to Work On My Image

Yesterday craziequeen posted a "friendship report card" to my Facebook page, on which I received a grade of "C+", with the comment, "Works too slowly."

Yawn. Here's one way to look at it, courtesy of Indexed ...

And that's all for today. I have to practice working faster.

Have a good day. Come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday ... you know you need it. More thoughts then.
